Paul's case for Dick Allen:1) He wore a helmet while playing in the field2) He wore glasses3) He wore white shoes while playing for two different teams4) He smoked while in uniform5) He wore his high school & graduation year on his back

If there was a hall-of-fame for baseball coolness, Dick Allen would be one of the first inductees. I am sure there are others that can make strong cases. Just off the top of my head: - Tito Fuentes with a head-band over his hat - George Hendrick with a visor - Omar Oliveras wearing "00" in 1995 as his number to match is initals
